This rates the most competitive juvenile hurdle of the season. Koi Dodville has already hit the back of the net at Hexham and Aintree before failing to handle a double penalty here. He faces another tough task at the weights but of greater concern is the quality of his hurdling which hitherto has been scruffy at times. He was beaten by Scrappy Jack the last day but should reverse placings on these terms. Moneykenny, second on that occasion, will be all the better for the run but LANGAFEL impressed over course and distance on debut when running out a convincing winner and can follow up, especially if tidying up his jumping a little on his second start.
